WYZESmart Scale X - FSA/HSA Eligible - Digital Bathroom Scale for Body Weight, BMI, Body Fat, Muscle Mass, Heart Rate Monitor | ITO Glass & LED Backlight | Batteries Included, 400 lbs (White)

My plain, simple digital bathroom scale was over 20 years old. It did not have replaceable battery but the one it came with LASTED OVER 20 YEARS of moderate use by one person. When it finally gave out, against the warning on the back, I drool it apart and tried replacing the button battery with a new one (the same battery) but it didn’t bring the scale back to life.So I started searching for a new bathroom scale, which is way more difficult than I thought it would be! The brick-and-mortar stores around me had limited models and after checking their product reviews found all had a number of reviews saying they had quit working after a few months to a year.I even looked at a number of “best bathroom scales 2023” lists from general internet searches. Looking at the most frequently listed models on Amazon, thorough price/value evaluatiion (from reviews) led me to choose the Wyze Scale X, black version.It arrived in perfect condition and after reading the instructions, was easy to set up.I honestly did <not> want internet connectivity from a bathroom scale, but you don’t have to set up or use those functions for it to work correctly.It is sensitive to small changes (testing by weighing with/without clothes on) and though I have no other home bathroom scale to objectively compare values with, it does give me weight values that seem realistic and look correct AFAIK.It also will return a body fat composition score if you weigh in bare feet (as suggested) and stay on the scale after the initial weight is displayed, nbut I don’t care what the score is so I just get off once I get my weight. (I’m not a bodybuilder or health enthusiast to the point where a precise measurement of body fat means anything; who can’t already tell if they consider themself over-fat or not? I can. Lol)Size; large and heavy enough to feel secure when I get in and off.Easy of reading; great, an improvement over my old scale.The only downside I can found is that the glass-like surface shows dust and water spots easily. Maybe it is real glass, I’m not sure, but because the edges are exposed I try to be very careful to not hit it against anything hard when I move or clean it.I have started putting it in a bathroom cabinet , horizontally, when not in use. I think it can be stored vertically, which would save some space, but I suspect that might mess with the balance of the weight measuring components over time, idk.It was low/mid priced vs the competition, but I am too thrifty to consider it a disposable item that I’m willing to replace regularly, so I am trying to take good care of it if the care required is not too time/effort intensive.The battery is easily replaceable.And I am still thinking about how to get the 20 yr old scale operational again, in case this new one does crap out sooner than I’d like. There is one small board in it, connected to a few sensors under the outer deck. I scoured the internet looking for info on how to repair it, but the model is long discontinued and the entire product line has been sold to another mfg who doesn’t list it in their support area. I have engineers at my work that may be willing and able to diagnose and fix something, so that’s my next step when I get around to it.The obvious trend towards cheaper (in $ and in quality) components and finished products serves no one well IMHO and I do like to support good manufacturing when I find it.I hope the Wyze Scale X stands up to the test of time.(BTW, I am a buyer for a small US mechanical device manufacturer, and I understand that the cost of components and the finished goods are very important, but I am proud to say my company values reflect quality over cost and I’m glad they are so far successful despite the “race to the bottom” direction most competitors seem to choose. Go USA manufacturing!)

Good scale! Easy to use.The weight seems accurate enough, and the body composition measurements (like %fat) are within 5% of the numbers I got from a DEXA scan. So, accurate enough for tracking purposes.The app is pretty good, and tracks/graphs the various readings. The parameters are all pushed automagically to Apple Health.For the price, this is a great device. Definitely recommended.

I wanted a scale to track my weight, but also my wife and kids. This works well. I do have to select them as their weights are similar.The blue tooth works fast, always connects. It is quick to capture weight and keep history over time. Not sure how accurate fat % is or all the other measurements are (there are many) but could be as I don’t have anything to compare it against. Weight is accurate against traditional scale I have.The batteries last as long as expected. Looks nice and stays clean. I have synced it with Google Fit and Fitbit. You can set goals. Easy to edit historical measurements if needed. Nice graphs over time. You can export data through email. There is also a luggage mode, weigh yourself and you holding your luggage to calculate what it is to keep under 30 or 50 lbs., etc.This is the best scale I’ve gotten so far, highly recommended.

I got this after learning my old scale was off by four pounds, and continued to give me inconsistent numbers. For $40, this scale is accurate, repeatable and easy to set up. The display is nice and bright, and calibration couldn't be simpler.I personally don't use the smart features (yet), but for how cheap the price is, it's a helluva scale.

Great scale that is very easy to use. Helps track important metrics for weight loss and a more healthy lifestyle.

Beautiful, accurate and easy to use scale. We haven't bothered with the WiFi function and use it as a 'dumb' scale vs the technology built in to allow many smart features. The readout is bright, the scale very attractive and easy to keep clean. I highly recommend this scale and I see why it has so many good reviews

I have had for about a month. It seems to work fine. The surface is easy to clean. It's a low profile so it's not something that will be in your way. I had another scale but it broke, this seems as accurate. I want to say the other one I had, only measured to .2 /10's this one I think measures 1/10. Not like if I'm 20 pounds too heavy an extra .1 is gonna ruin my day anymore than the first 20 pounds did. One thing that bothers me a little bit compared to my old one as it seems like the last thing it displays as you hop off, is BMI which I don't track. I guess I haven't learned if I can disable that but if you hop off, it'll flash through the BMI then weight. Not really a big deal. I'd buy again. It communicates with my phone. The set up was fantastically easy as it should be today. Although I don't use that feature a whole lot. Nice to know that if I was out, and deciding to have my fourth slice of pizza. I could double check and use that as a proxy for a yea or nay.Review by p51
